This -ui-idai tendency of the law was at first compara tively harmless, by reason of the extraordi nary high premium on gold. bnt with the decline of the gold premium at the close of the war. its fatal effect was soon seen in the stoppage of many of our most important manufacturing enterprises. Fhe friends of protection were aroused to the neces-ry. not only of reducing the oppressive internal taxes, but at the same time of enuring* me fair degree of prot tiou to our home indus try. The result of their labors with this twofold object in view, was the recorumen dation and passage of the amended law submitted by the Commissioners at tii session of Congress. The working of the revised law has been so satisfactory and its results so gratifying to the country at large that a more thorough revision is to be re commended at thejnext session having the same objects in view, viz.: a still further re duction of those oppressive Interna! taxes, which have so enormously increased the cost of living throughout the country, and a more efficient prote.tiou to such of our in dustrial interests as still need the iostering care of the government, and which arc the great sources of our national prosperity and independence. It is a well known fact that the greater portion of the Internal Revenue has been obtained from taxes on manufac tures. The result of the reduction of the last year was to give such an iinpetu- to our internal industries, that the increased pro* it is believed will follow from a -till further j reduction of the rate of taxation, proV 'ieu the protection hitherto given our industuai interests from the competition of lor gn pauper labor be not reduced. This is t..e one great danger that now threaten- our financial interests and consequently tue prosperity of the whole country. Irc : -tra ders anu their foreign allies will strive vig orously to break down our present protec live system and once more inaugurate tns i suicidal free-trade policy that so long kept ; us at the mercy of foreign manufacturers j and capitalists. To avert any such ncsfor- j tune and to continue and improve if po-si- j Lie the present system, under which our ' national debt is being so rapidly reduced, i our taxes yearly lightened and the general prosperity of the country promoted, should be the aim of every one who wishe; to -ce oar national debt speedily paid and oar whoie counrty raised to a degree of prosper ity that it never knew under the suicidal policy dictated to mercenary politicians by British manufacturers. If the necessities imposed upon u- by an immense national debt shall vrean our statesmen from the vis ionary theory of tree-trade and lead them to deal with facts as they are. in the adjustment of our national customs duties, we shall console ourselves with the reflection that under the pressure of a great burthen we have been led to the realization and ad p tionof the true national policy, of fostering and developing every branch of industry capable of being profitably prosecuted with in our borders. Such a policy will induce the artizan aud farmer, the producer and consumer to settle side by side, throughout the length and breadth of our land, saving to themselves and the world the useless and destructive expense of the transportation of i HI and raw material three or ar ;> fl'imcs nid ] Bedford o'io.tte stripe.

SCHOOL CONVENTION. A convention of the County Superintend ents of the Common Schools of the- State, is called to meet at Harrisburc. on the 4th f December.

In view of the contemptuous rejection of the- Constitutional Amendment by the late ly rebellious States, it has become evident that additional legislation mil b- r. are as soon as Congress meets in order to ! asten to a sr-cedy conclusion the vexed question of reec'cstru ■ .on.
